Kristian Spilling @spilling.bsky.social · 15/12/2025Something was strange with the oxygen data. I had a closer look at the sensor and found a barnacle attached to the tip. How much does a #barnacle respire? 010

It will measure near-bottom flow, particle and nutrient dynamics for the next 6 weeks in the RCF #PHYTOTRANS project. @gtk-fi.bsky.social @finmari-ri.bsky.social @syke.fi @spilling.bsky.social 093
Kristian Spilling @spilling.bsky.social · 19/03/2025New paper. We show that the phosphate pool is still increasing in the Gulf of Finland and picophytoplankton, seem to play an important role in its uptake. This is opposed the the more traditional view of filamentous cyanobacteria doing this. doi.org/10.1002/lno....doi.orgPicophytoplankton act as the primary consumers of excess phosphorus after the spring bloom in the eutrophic Baltic SeaEutrophication in the Baltic Sea has caused an imbalance in the inorganic nitrogen (N) to phosphorus (P) ratio, leaving excess phosphate (PO4) after the phytoplankton spring bloom that terminates aft... 020

Kristian Spilling @spilling.bsky.social · 08/01/2025Just published: ocean alkalinity enhancement does not seem to affect carbon export. Results from a #kosmos mesocosm experiment in Gran Canaria bg.copernicus.org/articles/22/... @geomarkiel.bsky.social @sykefi.bsky.socialbg.copernicus.orgParticle fluxes by subtropical pelagic communities under ocean alkalinity enhancementAbstract. Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) has been proposed as a carbon dioxide removal technology (CDR), allowing for long-term storage of carbon dioxide in the ocean. By changing the carbonate sp... 010
